We go to almost any extreme...

This photo shows the lengths we go to in order to map a great cycling route. We're certain that by the time you're here to ride this beautiful and challenging climb, this mudslide will have been cleared away, but for now we clambered up the steep path to continue mapping (both conventional and with GPS) the route. Tomorrow we're back in the van hoping to complete our work on the still-secret new itinerary we hope to debut in 2010.

CycleItalia

Larry and Heather met while leading bike tours in Italy, married soon after, and have since enjoyed almost 30 years of cycling guide experience. We launched CycleItalia in 1998 (after a decade working with another tour operation) to share our unique passion for Italy with you. CycleItalia has its roots in the Italian cycling getaways we planned as a couple during our time off, exploring the little-traveled backroads of untouristed regions, discovering small family-run inns and enjoying authentic country cuisine. We coined the phrase "pedala forte, mangia bene!' (ride hard, eat well!) to describe our philosophy and while imitators come and we've now created Piedmont Cycling Resort to offer complete flexibility for your Italian cycling vacation. Join us!
